With elections looming later this year here in the U.S. it is time to give serious thought to changing laws that hamper the President as he tries to do his job. We need someone who has the power to do some good.

Let’s look at Global Warming for example. Our next President may want to do something about it. He or she may want to close down the factories that create pollution producing vehicles. That would be difficult to do in today’s environment.

Besides you would still have factories in China that would be adding millions of new workers to their payrolls to take up the slack. And it is unlikely they will respond in a positive way to a request to stop what they are doing.
But once a new President who is backed up by new laws and powers has shut their factories down for them everyone else should pretty much fall in line. And once all the factories around the world are shut down Global Warming will cease to be a problem. Cars that are already on the road won’t be able to be repaired and will gradually pile up and be buried in new parks around the nation.

Electric powered bicycles will be the new form of mass transportation. How big does an electric engine need to be to power a two hundred and fifty pound man up a hill? Especially after it has run out of steam a few times and he has had to walk it up a few hills. He’s going to lose weight just so he can get where he is going. So in this example we see multiple problems being resolved once the main problem is addressed.

But none of this will happen until the new President has the power to make it happen. And while we are at it why not give him the power to fire Senators over the age of eighty. Shouldn’t they retire? And what if they refuse? Well, in that case, there should be a law that states the President whoever he or she may be gets to come down to the Senate and kick the stubborn old fool’s butt all the way back to say West Virginia.

We can solve problems in this country but first we have to get serious about wanting to do it. Grab a RSS feed for unique and compelling commentary as well as snug fitting and hard hitting news briefs.
